When asked about marriage during the press conference for the drama at Imperial Palace Hotel in Gangnam on January 21, Song Ji Hyo shared, "I think marriage is something you just do or don't do. I want to do it later... I want to feel the freedom of being alone when I'm young. I think that if I were to regret it, I rather regret it later... I am still fantasizing, and although it would be nice to live out that imagination later, I am satisfied with my life right now so I don't want to go into that imagination yet."

Choi Jin Hyuk also wanted to hold off on marriage as he said, "I think marriage was more of a romantic fantasy when I was younger. Strangely, my friends got married early, so my thoughts have changed a lot... Whenever the weather gets cold, and I find myself having a difficult time, that is when I think of marriage."

Mmm, Ji Hyo is such a strong and independent women. I really aspire to be like her. While other girls throw themselves in relationships and desperately want a boyfriend, I'm thinking tbh I don't really need one. It'd be nice to have, but I don't get why people would want to rush.

OMG this is why I respect Song Ji Hyo soo much! To say that in a culture where you're looked down upon if you're in your late 20s and don't have a man is amazing! I love her soo much she's one of the few female celebrities I admire ^^

I love her so much and so glad she has a good head on her shoulders. It's always nice seeing people not rushing into marriage because it's what the society expects.

I wonder if she did breakup with her boyfriend or the word "alone" just means that she is still her own person even in a relationship because being boyfriends with someone is different from being married to someone. Anyway, if she's happy with where she is in her life, single or in a relationship, good for her.

Good luck with this comedy/drama, unnie! Looking forward to it.

(PS. Can't we get a SJH article without anyone in the comments mentioning Gary? Seriously, it's off-putting.)

Go Song Ji Hyo! I completely agree with her views. There is really nothing to rush so when it happens it will come naturally. I love her, from her dramas to what she's like on Running Man, she is a great inspiration to many young girls and women. I hope their new drama all the best!
